Image placement

FactoryTalk View supports one, three or
nine positions for images, depending on
the type of object. On conversion, images
are positioned using the closest match.
Therefore some images might be clipped
to fit the object.

Turn Object View On property

If this property is set to False, the
converted object has a transparent
background, no border, no caption, and
no image.

All objects

Blinking inner graphics

If the inner graphic uses a color image, it
will not blink. Use a monochrome image
if you want the inner graphic to blink.
